Advertised shortcuts and patches
I'm working on repackaging an application (Adaptiv) and I know that there are already patches out for it - in fact the version we are on is up to patch number 56 (don't ask.)
What I want to know is if I repackage the new version with advertised shortcuts, could it potentially cause problems in the future when we have to patch the application.
Thanks!
WB

If it's a critical app, why are you tolerating multiple patches? How, indeed, are you doing any meaningful testing? Anyway, I digress...
In your position, I would simply have multiple packages representing each patched version. In that way, you could easily uninstall a faulty new patch and re-install the previous version.
My 2 cents...

The only meaningful testing that I can do is before the deployment.
Usually I have a say in how things are done, but this is one of those instances where I'm completely bound to just deal with the situation as best I can. I mean, this whole thing is a serious cluster. The vendor is so bad that they want to charge us for them testing their own product to see if it actually works.
Not a bad idea to have multiple packages. I may have to do that, time permitting.
Thanks for the thoughts, though.
